    How about when you skip?

    Or hop on one leg?

    Or play twister?

    No, just headaches.
    are you gonna be my straight man now?

    just for clarity that's 'straight man' in a comedy sense, not a sexual orientation sense

    Good thing you clarified, I was worried about how I was gonna grow a penis and the ensuing lifetime of insecurity about its size.

    If it's an achy kind of pain, wouldn't a heating rub be more comfortable than an ice pack? I used to get knee pain after standing for long hours, especially when my weight goes past 150lbs. I had to elevate my legs and apply a warm rub otherwise i could not even sleep. 'Deep heat' is quite useless. I use a muscle rub called Metsal. It really helps relieve some of the soreness.

    Have to say after reading these knee problems for all you puppydogs, am grateful mine are fine.

    I have other minor "problems"..Reynauld's in hands, fallen arches=customized orthotics (last 15 yrs.).
